Oh man. I’m so tempted by that Gaiwan and cup. But I keep backing out since it’s my first gaiwan and I’m unsure about it. Lol.
I should just get them call it a birthday present for myself too since mine’s at the end(ish) of the month. XD Though I was eyeing this owl teapot and cup set. /ponders/

It’s my first gaiwan also. I’ve been wanting one for months, and I’m super excited to receive it and brew some finer teas. Also, the design appeals to me waaaay much more than what I’ve seen so far, and I’ve done quite a bit of searching.

Ok, so I know I’m in Vegas and supposed to be partying and what not..but I saw the teawares come up on Verdant and I have been waiting for a gaiwan for sooo long! So yes, I just placed an order from my hotel room :P

So, I wasn’t planning on buying anything, but teapot1 got me interested in that flash chill iced tea steeper and someone else on here ordered a nice bonavita variable temperature kettle, and I didn’t have either, so I went for it! I also finally ordered a tin of Nina’s Paris grand amour tea while I was at it! Woohoo!!

Hope you love the kettle, I’m digging mine! Make sure you do at least three pots full of boiling water first to get some of the factory smell out of it (they recommend it in the instructions) After three I didn’t taste anything weird in the water.
